Q. Wayne made some chili with 5355\frac{3}{5} cans of black beans and 3453\frac{4}{5} cans of pinto beans. How many cans of beans did Wayne use in all?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline____\_\_\_\_ cans
  1. Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier addition.\newline535=(5×5+3)/5=2855 \frac{3}{5} = (5 \times 5 + 3)/5 = \frac{28}{5}\newline345=(3×5+4)/5=1953 \frac{4}{5} = (3 \times 5 + 4)/5 = \frac{19}{5}
  2. Add Improper Fractions: Add the two improper fractions. 285+195=28+195=475\frac{28}{5} + \frac{19}{5} = \frac{28 + 19}{5} = \frac{47}{5}
  3. Convert Back to Mixed Number: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number to find the total cans used. 475=925\frac{47}{5} = 9 \frac{2}{5}
